Vicar after watching the demise of the little Yorkie - "Still, at least they won't have to dig a very big hole". Sick woman.
I've met a few vicars over the years (they are often pet owners aswell) they are an interesting species and have a rather strange sense of humour at times!!Not sure of the ethics of putting a kid with Tourette's on the show, but I guess if the family signed up for it, it's not a concern for them.
Seems to be pandering to the lowest common denominator a little bit to me though.
He started well by shouting 'cock' at the TV for no particular reason!
Saying that, I did the same when Joey Essex appeared, so I can't judge him.

I wasn't very impressed with that remark. There was no need for that - and especially no need to then go on about digging a hole for their own dog! We thought the comment by the Malone boy about wanting to be a monkey, and his dad's immediate follow-up, was very funny, retort of the week!

I must be sick too I thought that was funny.Good episode overall, nice to have the Essex family back and the Asian family's description of Syria was very accurate. Not sure about the new family, they seem to be trying too hard to be different with their looks.

The two Leeds girls are just as vacuous and annoying as ever.
I do wish they'd get rid of these two. One is as orange as smart arse Geordie bird and the other jaundice yellow, but both so thick it's not funny, they both act like something from Creature Comforts!nicanary said:
WTF was on the telly when Giles started his story about having gammon with egg and pineapple? He's a bit of a space cadet. Mary's dead right -"have you heard the saying -get a life?"
I'm starting to wonder what it would taste like - might have a late supper.
Some combinations sound weird to our tastes but just work, eg Swedish Pytt i panna, imagine corned beef hash, with a runny fried egg and then pickled beetroot piled on. I'm starting to wonder what it would taste like - might have a late supper.
Oh yes forgot, Scarlett: but Kylie has been married before, she married Jason Donovan!
Mother: that was on Neighbours.

I love corned beef hash with pickled beetrootNot sure about the egg though. I'll save that for the fried spam butties.

The CPS programme was sobering viewing, the mother of the dead boy was very dignified and forgiving.
The strangest thing about the show for us is (& I understand it's edited well) it makes us enjoy the company of such a wide verity of families that we'd never hang out with.
In fact, there's very few we don't actually enjoy for one reason or another-the only ones that spring to mind are the vicar and her whipped husband (bloody hell she has an opinion on everything & lets you know it-bet that takes some editing!), maybe the old dorris who lives in a caravan with her gay bff but that's about it. Oh and the old couple, "June, where's me crackers"! My god that moaning socialist old git he makes me want to throw my remote at the telly.
Apart from them though, I think new families always need a bit of time so the viewer gets to understand the family quirks.
In fact I think the less successful ones probably are the couples/two people only. There's just not as much going on I guess. Apart from the posh ones who live in the thatched cottage
he just cracks me up in the same way the posh wino's from sandwich used to.

The Siddiqui family are very alert and knowledgeable, the Michaels also but in a more down-to-earth way, the Tappers are interesting if only to see just how obese their daughter can get. I like the Geordie gobby girl who attempts to say "cock and balls" as often as possible, but the 2 dim girls get on my wick.
If Michelle Collins had to ask that, it makes you wonder what she's been doing over the past few years..............

Agreed, it's always strange seeing a new family appear. This week we had the Scottish family pop up, as you say they'll take a while to bed in. I was in two minds about the welsh couple to begin with but now find them very funny, the guy has such a good sense of humour.In fact, there's very few we don't actually enjoy for one reason or another-the only ones that spring to mind are the vicar and her whipped husband (bloody hell she has an opinion on everything & lets you know it-bet that takes some editing!), maybe the old dorris who lives in a caravan with her gay bff but that's about it.

I still can't take to the family with the guy that has tourettes though, they don't really ever seem to say anything funny or interesting. Apart from them the only others I'm pretty indifferent about are the two London women, they play up for the camera to much for my liking.
